you all intelligent jury thar will set
you free, every time. We can
count back tor several murders of
Il brutal nature, but they are all

a Paradise for murdereTs who
may have some eccentric habit of

But it is quite an unsafe matter TO
kill a man in self defense. Martin

advancing on him with Il chain
raised to strike him d0wrt, and by
a man who was proven in court
to be u dangerous man, while if4l.e'
could have shot him IN rkr btck,
when he was help}esSly dtunk he
could now be walking the streets.
There is this to tear frOm this way

Special to the N. o. Times-D Democrat.
Washington, jan. 17.-In the
Senate to day Mr.. Wallhdll pre-
senteu Il memorial from the Board
of Supervisors of Harrison county,
Miss, asking that the Quarantine
Station at Ship Island be removed
to less dangerous locality. MIR.
Walthall submitted with this me
mortal a letter from Surgeon Gen
eral Hamilton who takes strong
ground against the proposed entire
abandonment OF the Station.
In tire House to day Mr.. Van
Eaton introduced a bill authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury TO
remove tue Ship Island Quarantine
Station to such island in tue Cult
or paSs in tue Mississippi as may
be chosen by a board appointed by
himself, an'l appropriating $4,000
for this purpose.
Senator Waltball and Judge Van
Eaton have been for sOmc time
studying the problem OF the remoV-
al of the national quarantine sta
ton from Ship Island. They have
had several cQnsultatiOns with
Secretary hIing and DIR.
Hamilton. Tue conclusion seems
to be that while these officials eau
make the change, money will be
required 10 dit up the new station.
Bills we're accordingly introduced
IN each house by the Senator and
aud Representative above named,
making the appropriation aud Civ
ing all the needed authority for the
removal. As the matter will be
vigorously pushed by each of the
said gentlemen, and DIR. Hamilton
favOrs the removal, success this
session is confidently expected.

Oh yes, TO be sure. Sustain the Riddle
berger bill"
Well, can you sustain boat that is
full OF holes, or balloon that has COL
lapsed? You might succeed in passing
resolution that Appomattox did not
settle secession, and that, therefore, the
United States Supreme Court cannot pre-
vail over State court. But all the same,
the facts would knock the resolution
into apie.
And so you may legislate to all time
that the Riddleberger bill is settlement.
The creditors say it is not a settlement,
and YOU cannot, and never can, settle a
debt by the action of the debtor alone.
In the meantime, you will find that the
coupons will be used for paying taxes.
II is human nature to settle at 90 per
cent. discount when you have the lawful
right to do it.
But why should the State propose to
pay its own debt at such discount, and
then BLACKBOARD its citizens for doing the
same thing?

THE COUNTY MUST PAY UP.

On the 22d of last month in the United
States Circuit Court at Louisville the
case of Theodore w. Thompson, of Hi.
nois, against Judge Calvert, of Allen coun-
ty, came up upon a demurrer by the
plaintiff TO the response in behalf Of
Calvert and Allen county. This case is
similar to many others involving the pay
ment of subscriptions to railroads by
Kentucky counties, and is in that way a
test that will govern the decision Of the
others. After hearing full argument on
beth sides, Judge Jackson sustained the
demurrer, issued the mandamus asked for
BY Thompson, and appointed United
States Marshal Gross to collect the rev.
enues Of the county from the tax required
and granted to satisfy Thompson's claim.
Ninety days was given by the court for
Allen county to make some satisfactory
terms with Thompson. If this is not
done, the marshal will proceed summarily
with the collection of the revenue.
Thompson's claim amounts to nearly
100000. And Kentucky does not pro-
pose TO nullify.

1IMepIecE TICKS.

The pendulum spring was invented in 1910.
Up to tho close of the Tenth century sun dials
and hour glasses alone existed.
Portable clocks of rude and heavy fashion
were used in the Fourteenth century.
AS early as the Fifteenth century spiral
springs in clocks were Invented to take the
place of the weight line.
Mr. Morgan had in his collection gold
watch in the shape of an ACORN which dis
charged diminutive wheel lock pistol at a
certain hour.
The Earl of Stamford possessed a small egg
shaped watch, the cases cut out OF Jacynths
and the cone set around with priceless dia-
monds on an enameled border.
The earliest watch known was called the
"Nurewberg Egg" The odd name given to
these watches was due partly to the city
where they were made, and partly to their
shape, which resembled an egg.
Before the adoption of the fusee in 1900
watch movements were made entirely of
steel, then brass was adopted for one thing
and another, until steel was used for pinions
alone.
A curious looking watch, believed to be OF
the time OF Queen Elizabeth, and now III
Lady Fitzgerad's collection, is in the form OF
a silver duck The feathers are chased on the
silver. The dial plate is encircled with gilt
ornamental design OF floriated scrolls and
well executed angels heads. The wheels
work on small rubies.
